Startup Weekend Helsinki: Sustainability & Bioeconomy

Startup Weekend Helsinki: Sustainability & Bioeconomy is an event where multidisciplinary teams openly co-develop business ideas and solutions for products and services of the future sustainability & bioeconomy fields. All Startup Weekend events follow the same basic model: anyone is welcome to pitch their startup idea and receive feedback from their peers. Teams organically form around the top ideas (as determined by popular vote) and then it’s a 54 hour frenzy of business model creation, coding, designing, and market validation. The weekend ends with participants presenting the developed product or service prototypes, viable business models or other solutions to local entrepreneurial leaders with another opportunity for critical feedback.
